well anet retrospective, they say they are a company that wants to build a community, why let a 3rd party do it. Anet this is your chance to support your video claim!! gogogo

Wiki's are terrible. They are good for concrete material, something that can definitively be answered one way or another. For anything that requires discussion or revolves around opinion (such as game balance/satisfaction/etc) its only slightly better than a room full of angry yelling drunks.

Aside form that you have wiki editors. And the fact that there is no flow to a wiki. No way to filter crap on a wiki. It shouldn't be surprising that less total people are going to be active on a wiki than would be on a messageboard. Choosing wiki exclusively over a messageboard is just a terrible idea.

I meant in the sense of being able to criticize the game or the company as I stated. You are quite free to do so here on guru (as thousands of threads attest), but might not have that same freedom on a company-run forum. Of course all forums have rules, and how well they are enforced determines the fate of the forum. Ones that descend into chaos become unused.

An official forum is worthwhile if it's used as actual avenue of communications by the staff, as Blizzard does on WoW's official forums.

I'd rather see ANet getting closer with Curse somehow, making Gurus at least semi-official, with more - and more serious - activity from ANet's side here. I don't see it coming, but i don't think they would start a totally fresh, clean forum either.
